During my career as your Manager at Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative (HOEC), I have seen a lot of changes over the years. Our world has become more and more technical, requiring all of us to depend on readily available power.

Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc. (AECI) is a generation cooperative that serves members of Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative (HOEC). HOEC is one of 51 electric distribution cooperatives that AECI provides power to in Missouri, Southern Iowa and Northeast Oklahoma. To generate power for its 875,000 members, HOEC members included, AECI maintains a diverse resource portfolio.

CYCLE stands for Cooperative Youth Conference and Leadership Experience and is in its 12 year.
